Muskogee, I. T., Feb. 19.--Deputy Marshal John Cordell of Wewoka has brought to Muskogee Barney Fixio and an Indian Known as "Wild Cat," who with several others are charged with the killing of Billy Curry, a prominent Seminole light horseman, five miles west of Sasakwa on the night of February 3.

Deputy Marshal Bass Reeves of this city identified "Wild Cat" as an Indian he arrested twenty years ago while he was Deputy United States Marshal at Fort Smith. The jail records substantiate Reeves. The officer was sent to the territory to arrest "Wild Cat" and while on his way to the Arkansas line the Indian escaped and this is the first time officers have seen him since. It was thought the man was dead long ago.
